Sez
has started again!!
As many of you will know (prob to your regret) I have enormous constipation issues. I have asked advice of anyone who will listen inc my LLC. I have taken all the advice and now drink 5+litres of water a day, inc soda water; I have water flavourings,I have hot drinks, and I still have to take dulcolax. I am in agony when I do go, last time I was on the loo over an hour, and in tears with the pain. It is making me feel really grotty, and sluggish and honestly just cr*p.
I know one of kind ladies suggested Movicol, which I think I am going to try to get to help "clear me out", and then I am going to start a course of psyllium husk capsules. I have tried the husks themselves in water but I just heaved, cannot take them that way.
My LLC said HO will only say I need more water, but just how much does one person need to drink to be able to poop properly? It is not an issue I have ever had before,in fact almost the reverse. She also said I need to visit the gp to get it sorted, but I am almost phobic about GP's so that wont happen unless a last resort.
Does anyone else suffer like this or am I just lucky.....
Are there any other remedies I might try?
Sorry for the graphic nature of this post, but I really really need help this time and not with my eating.....
Thanks guys.
